Rowdy ... "The Redneck Armadillo"
TheLodgeman's Team member Todd Warrick ... Jacksonville fire fighter and WJVO DJ for the RBC ( Redneck Breakfast Club ) brought me a Armadillo to mount. Yeah, ... that's right, ... a Armadillo picked up as "road kill" in South Jacksonville. It's assumed this critter travelled a little too far north, as other people have reported seeing them too. I don't know for sure ... but I do know this little critter is famous in Morgan Co. and also is a "one of a kind".
Oh, ... please read on.
Remember back several months ago, ... we held ... "FRY FEST 2009" Todd made it out and we enjoyed an evening of fun and fellowship. Well, ... ROWDY was there. I had it done, but not on any base. Buddy Boomer looks on here, ... while Toni seems to ignore him ?
Later that night, ... Rowdy was "dancing" with Toni. Yep, ... Toni was the first girl friend for Rowdy. As you can see, ... Rowdy is having a great time tucked under Toni's arm.
Toni and Rowdy were inseparable. Rowdy had such a good time that night.
Now, ... moving forward, ... Rowdy is now with Todd Warrick. ( standing far left ) This photo shows the WJVO staff posing with Country Music Star ... Billy Currington. That's right, Billy Currington was performing at the fair and Todd took Rowdy out for the night. Make sense so far ? Check out Todd and all the staff at .... www.wjvofm.com
So, ... Team LODGE's Todd Warrick ... holds up, ... the now famous Rowdy the Redneck Armadillo and mascot of the Redneck Breakfast club ... in front of the crowd.
Lakin is all grins, taking in the fame of Rowdy and ....
the fame of the Redneck Breakfast club !
Todd and Matt Lakin, ... DJ's of the morning show ... kick off the concert.
Here ... Billy Currington and band play to the crowd.
But before , ... Rowdy, ... from TheLodgeman.com's Taxidermy Shop ... was autographed by Country Singer Billy Currington.
Billy Currington, ... has 3 number one hits, ... many Top Ten hits, and his newest hit, "GOD is Great, Beer is Good, ... and People are crazy" should be number one soon. Yeah, that Billy Currington, ... signed Rowdy, ... from The LODGE Taxidermy shop.
Now, that's a one of a kind, ... or a very unique mount !
Outdoor Girls were out and about.
See, ... they even tip their drink when recognized !
Rowdy brought smiles to everyone !
This gal is all proud that Billy Currington signed her too. She and Rowdy are buddies. I bet she still hasn't washed that off. Wow, it's been a week !
Remember Stephanie ... my Turkey hunting buddy ? Yeah, ... she too even got into the Rowdy fun. ( and she's still cute as ever )
Who is this Beautiful darling ? Well, it's none other than Jennifer Warrick ! Yeah, ... that's Todd's daughter. Has Todd been hiding a future Outdoor Girl of the Week ? I think so ! She's even doing the Vanna White ... hand pose !
It's easy to tell, ... Rowdy quickly forgot all about Toni. He was playing up to all the beautiful gals.
Now, ... you see the tipped up base ? If you look real close, you'll see TheLodgeman.com's business card too. Man, ... was Rowdy have'n fun.
This "Future OGW" is flanked by a couple of dudes, ... But Sarah, manager "Boss" of WJVO, ... is proud to pose with the station's mascot too !
Even the Fair Queen came backstage for a peek at the ever popular Rowdy.
With that, ... Mr. Bud kicks off the slide show parade of all the photos that Team LODGE member Todd Warrick took throughout the evening. And we salute you too ... Mr. Bud !
And this Slide Show ... has the fair go'ers doing the "Outlaw Salute" ...
There you go, ...
